For instance, this right here is my favorite strip of this comic that I absolutely love. It's about 'Nique and Slick mocking each other, then sharing their problems and working them out together with some humor, finalizing with probably the sweetest final panel in Sinfest:

But yeah, I do have to echo your criticisms. I really miss the friendship Slick and 'Nique seemed to have. They may not have always been civil towards one another, but they seemed to genuinely care about one another's well being.

The strip hasn't lost those kinds of relationships entirely of course, I love getting a chance to see Lily and Orange grow closer. It just hurts to know that apparently Slick's become little more than a vessel for evil and his friendship with 'Nique has essentially evaporated at this point.

Most of the people here are genuinely good people who want others to elevate themselves in such a way that they treat everyone fairly and put aside a lot of the gender roles and expectations that society has foisted on us so as to be welcoming to those who don't generally fit within those roles.

I agree with what else was said, that the relationship is definitely down. However, I feel this is more of a writing approach to drive them apart while they both go through their own plots. Basically, they were getting too close to the point everyone was expecting something to happen, and Tat wasn't ready to write that yet.

Think along the lines of the Friends TV show with Ross and Rachel, how the show for the longest time kept teasing them getting together...when they finally kind of did, shortly after it broke them apart largely to the point for awhile they had absolutely nothing to do with one another besides random moments.

To some point, that's kind of the stage Sinfest is in. With no reason to see it's popularity waning that Tat needs to keep the relationship able to be resolved quickly, we have to have different plot points to explore if he still wants to play around with the "will they or won't they" part of the relationship. It's like real relationships (with some added drama of course...yay fiction!), people go through stressful times. I agree I miss the relationship, but I think it'll be more brought about through the plot to make them more sincere characters in the process.

The same for Nique being more goofy and trying stuff on. I think she's just going through some stuff. She'll feel better after and can be more upbeat again. Sometimes people change to lose an upbeat personality like that, but usually only after traumatic events. But my wife had parts of her life where she was less energetic due to events, only to now days be jumping around singing while we decorated for a party yesterday._________________

Yeah, lol hits it pretty square on the head. If you don't like being charged with false equivalencies then stop making them. If you hold an irrational position then naturally someone who holds a more rational one will always have the "perfect trump card," whereas if your position is rational then being charged with a logical fallacy is less of an impediment (you can easily argue against it).

So, if you believe that modern feminists necessarily view sexuality as wrong, which they don't, then you should examine your argument and see why you keep getting trapped by more logical arguments.

Also, people in general should remember how they get spanked (like when they continually claim all feminists view sexuality as wrong) and try to make better arguments the next time rather than the same one over and over. That might keep you from hearing the same counterargument over and over, too._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

I guess it would suck for you, since you're wrong if you're agreeing with KDX's ignorant comment.

Modern feminism explicitly rejects the virgin/whore dichotomy.

the best/worst part about it is that modern feminism, for all its disagreements and fractures, is pretty much entirely about choice. that's the whole point of stuff like making contraception more widely available and opening up combat posts to women in the military and Escher Girls and on and on and on.

for mouthbreathing misogynists like KDX and Larsensan to go around saying otherwise just says more about them than about anything else.

Now I'm a misogynist? HAHAHA. Nah, just kidding, is not even funny. It's the most stupid thing I've been ever called. If anything I consider myself a true "equalitier".

Most feminists I've ever known are radical ones that view everything as an attack to womanhood and eschew all your arguments as "false" and "sexist". Fortunately I've known a couple of true feminists who are great people, you can have deep and entertaining conversations with them and reject the ideas of radical ones.

And, what's an "Escher Girl"?

If you really trust in what you are saying you shouldn't be so defensive. Not an accusation, just an advice.
